A MYSTERY REVEALED.
The Murder Of Cashier Barron Mt DeI-
ter, Maine, Acknowledged.

NEW YORK, Oct 13.-The world pub
fishes a twelve. column confession by
Charles Francis Stair concerning the
murder Of Cashier ]. W. Barron, Of the
National Savings bank at Dexter. Me-, on
February 90, 1878, and the robbery of the
bank. The robbery and death OF Barron
caused great sensation at the time and
the mystery concerning the matter has
never been cleared up. Barron was found
on the evening of that holiday lying
bleeding and unconscious In the bank
vault. The door of the vault was open,
but the funds were untouched and only
5000 in money and $500 bonds were miss
ing from the cash drawer. The story was
started that Barron had committed suicide
to avoid exposure Of some misconduct
toward the bank. This was never proved.
but the family Of the dead man have suf-
fered seriously on account OF the allega-
ton. The World says that young man
named Charles Francis Stair has now
made statement that he and his father
David Stair. with Oliver Smith, alias
Cromwell, well known criminal, and
four men named Andrew, Thompson,
Scott and Keely were the authors Of the
crime They had impressions OF all the
locks in the building where the bank was
located and took advantage of the holiday
when the building seemed deserted to
gain entrance by false keys. On enter
ing the vault room door David Stair
found himself face to face with Barron,
who had been to the coal closet and was
returning with scuttle OF goal in one
hand and shovel in the other. The
vault door was unlocked and the cashier
was evidently about to count the funds
and verify his accounts. Stair struck him
several blows with q slnngshot. rendering
him unconscious, and Cromwell then
came up and helped Stair gag and bind
the senseless man. The robbers did not
dare STAY to ransack the vault. They
took key from Barron's pocket, opened
the cash drawer. took the loose cash and
hurriedly fled. The other members OF
the gang had been on watch in and near
the building, and on learning that the
cashier had seen Stair they decided TO
flee. Young Stair had waited few miles
away with a wagon. All found their way
hither and drove TO Scion Meck's house,
where they separated. They did not
learn that Barron was dead until the next
day.
Young Stair heard all the details OF the
robbery from his father and Cromwell.
He believed that some Of the gang started
the story of Barron's dcfalcation in order
to divert suspicion from themselves.
Young Stair is under arrest at Franklin
Mass, where he made the confession
| He was traced there by detective from
Maine. Ii is believed that the others in
! volved will be captured.

AN EXCELLENT SHOWING.
Steady Growth and Prosperity OF the
Burlington Insurance Company.

The Burlington, Iowa, Gazette of Oct.
9th, commenting on the falling off and
dull condition of trade generally, says
that amid the complainings of hard times
it is gratifying to find zone representative
institution that can cheerfully contem-
plate the operations of the year. and such
a fortunate exception to the general rule
was discovered by Gazette ambassador
in recent visit to the home office of the
Burlington Insurance Company"
The report of an interview with Presi-
dent Miller follows, in which it is shown
that up to September 80, the premium
receipts of the Burlington had increased
S2S, 400. 40 over last year at that date,
while for the same period the losses had
decreased 81, 002 II, an exhibit which Mr..
Miller stated was as satisfactory to the
Company as if the receipts had increased
$50, 900. 90 and the losses kept pace with
J those of 1886.
SIS there any truth in the report that
the Company is about to inCr Ease its paid
up capital stock to 5000, 000 0OH" inquired
the Gazette man.
We'll" said Mr.. Miller, II am not
quite ready to talk about that yet.
although it is true that not long since we
held meeting at which some of our
stockholders ADVOCATED an increase of the
cash capital to $500, 10000. But the
management has always opposed any
great increase of our capital stock, be-
lieving that we now have ample capital
to meet all the requirements of the very
conservative business we do. However,
it was decided at that meeting to increase
our capital stock to 5000, 900 00 paid up
in cash and the additional 300, 900. 90
was subscribed by our old stockholders
and is now subject to our call. We can
call it in at any time, though, as said,
we are in no hurry to do so, although the
money is ready and waiting.

THE IOWA EyICTlONS.
Attorney General Garland Will In
ycstlsatc.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE reported
eviction of settlers from the unearned
land grants of the st. Paul & Sioux City
railroad has been brought to the attcn-
ton of Attorney General Garland by
States Attorney General Baker, Of Iowa,
in letter in which he appeals for Fed
eral assistance in protecting the settlers
until the question of their right to the
lands held by them can be determined by
the courts. The Attorney General re-
referred the letter to the Secretary Of the
Interior for such suggestions as he may
deem proper under the circumstances.
The Attorney General, in speaking Of the
letter to-day, said il was brought to his
notice about a year ago, but not in shape
calling for action on the part OF the gov.
eminent. Whatever it is now is an open
question which can best be determined by
the records of the Interior Department as
to the title to the lands in dispute and
the methods employed by one set OF
claimants TO dispossess another set in ad-
vance of judicial settlement of the ques-
tons at issue. The newspaper statement
that the Attorney General refused TO stop
the proceedings in the State courts was
characterized as absurd on its face, as he
had no jurisdiction whatever over the
State courts.

IOWA'S LIBRARY.
The Biennial Report of the State
Librarian.

The Biennial report of Mrs. Maxwell,
the State Librarian was issued few days
since and is now being distributed. The
report is very full and interesting to all
who are interested in the library. 1t con-
tains many valuable suggestions in regard
to the library which ought to prove in
structiYe to the lawmakers Of the next
General Assembly in particular and to
every one in general. The larger part OF
the report is taken up by the catalogue OF
additions made to the library during the
period. These arc:
BY purchase. ................... .l,So9
BY donation and exchange. ........1, 6S7
Whole number of additions. .......2 S56
Whole number of books now in
Library. Observation-Disclosures. .ol,O lo
The Librarian calls attention to many
valuable additions made to the Aldrich
collection, (which owing to indefatigable
efforts of the generous doner is assuming
vast proportions. Among the most nota-
BILE recent gifts are autographs-in some
cases letters--and steel engravings OF
Queen Victoria, George Eliot, G, ii.
Lewcs, L. b. and Robert Browning, Sir
Walter Scott, Thackeray, Tennyson,
Burns, Macaulay, Darwin, Lycll, Huxley,
in short an innumerable array of kings,
queens, popes, bishops, statesmen liter
airy celebrities and persons of distinction
generally" Of these no catalogue has
as yet been prepared owing to the fact
that constant additions are being made to
it. The financial statement possesses
nothing Of special interest, probably the
most significant thing about this statement
is the smallness of the appropriations
made, there being but $1,000 for each
year of the period An amount mani
testify inadequate to keep the Library up
with the wants of the times. Among the
more valuable recommendations is the
one for the establishment of an Historical
Society in the Capital.
